Thank you so much for the help. It is exactly what I needed and works like a charm.

Basically, I want to enter a date in one cell in a worksheet (call it cell A1 in Sheet1), then use a VLOOKUP to find this date from a date column in another sheet (call it Column A in Sheet2). Once it finds this date, I want to go back 90 days and take the average of a value in a column – in this instance a rate in column B, and return this 90 day average to a cell in Sheet1. Any thoughts?

You mentioned that the cell positions were the same on every worksheet. Are all of these worksheets one after another? If so you could use a 3D reference such as =SUM(Sheet1:Sheet25!C1), which would sum the cell C1 on every sheet between and including Sheet1 and Sheet25.

I first created a new worksheet (I named it “aggregated from all”) and in a column (COLUMN A) listed the names of all of the worksheets (had to do that manually – may be a way to pull that quickly but I only found VBA solutions – beyond my level). So it is a column of values with the name of each worksheet that I wanted to pull the data from on individual rows (e.g., SHEET1, SHEET2, etc. in column A)

On that same worksheet I filled row 1 (ROW 1) with the cell references / positions for the data that I need (e.g., Cell B1 contained: B3004, B3 contained: R3002, etc.) and row 2 (ROW 2) with the description of the data. I then had basically the headers and rows of a report shell, just needed the data to be filled in. (I should note that the cell positions were the same on every worksheet – I was simply looking for a way to systematize compiling the data from the sheets).

For my row 10, column B, the following pulled the worksheet name from column A in row 10 and position of the value that I wanted:

=INDIRECT(“‘”&$A10&”‘!”&B$1)

The formula parts broken down:

=INDIRECT(“‘”&$A10&”‘!”
This is the INDIRECT function looking in cell A10 for the worksheet name; in my example, this referenced SHEET25. The $ locked the column so I could paste across all columns and lookup the sheet name.

&B$1)
This is the INDIRECT linkage to cell B1 on this worksheet, that contained the value R3002 . The $ loocked the row to row 1 so I could past down into all rows.

In my worksheet SHEET25, the cell R3002 contained the value $1,117,229. I then simply copied and pasted into all parts of the report.

I have a range of numbers in a row (for example: A3 – A13). In cells A14, A15, and A16, we list the Average, Max, and Min values using the Excel formulas (e.g. A14=Average (A3:A13)). When we get a new data set we insert the data as a new column A3 and shift everything to the right. Unfortunately the formulas also move to A4:A14. Is there a way to always start with A3 and let the right side shift as columns are added?

However, the problem with the above example is that the sheet reference won’t automatically be updated, and you would have to edit the sheet name in each B cell … BUT, you can code the series 1-100 in a “hidden column” referencing the sheet number and reference it with an indirect

Say column Z contains the series 1-100
Then use
| B | …. … | Z |
=INDIRECT(“Sheet” & Z1 & “!F$37?) 1
=INDIRECT(“Sheet” & Z2 & “!F$37?) 2
… etc …

Note: in the above example of indirect, you only need to code the first function, then copy and paste it into the following cells because the Z1 reference will automatically be incremented to refer to the next row.

I’m not sure I understand the problem right, but I think this is an approach:

=SUMPRODUCT(–($C1>Sheet1!$A$1:$A$200),–($C1<Sheet1!$B$1:$B$200))

Change as appropriate if equalling a start or stop time is OK. Fill down.

A number greater than zero says there is one, or many.

Doesn’t tell which one though.
